    Tow Vehicle for 2105 Landmark Newport? Advice needed

    I recently went through the same dilemma you're having right now, but driving a land yacht is well worth the benefit of pulling my mobile condominium down the road. Purchased a 2015 Landmark Savannah and desperately wanted to stay in a SRW setup, but the numbers don't support the wish. What...

    Seeking advice on I-95 travel from junction of I-26 near Holly Hill, SC, down to Daytona, FL. Heading to the Dayton 500 on February 15th and have heard some horror stories about travelling the I-95 corridor, so wanted to check with the experts on current issues, concerns, or travel opinions for...

    Colorado Front Range Quick Trips

    You didn't mention, do you want an RV park or some boondocking locations? If you want to be off the grid, I'd take a weekend drive along county road 67 (off US 85 near Castle Rock) through Pike National Forest. I always used to take my pop-up into the forest areas and found many locations to...

    Diesel exhaust smell in 2014 Dodge 2500

    Here's another thread on Diesel Truck Source explaining the smell. BigIron70 also confirmed what I've noticed, the smell is degrading over time. I will pay more attention to the Re-Gen indicators from here on out.

    Diesel exhaust smell in 2014 Dodge 2500

    I have a 2014 3500 with 10K and have noticed the same burnt smell on occasion. Don't know if it's just something with break in period or what. I do notice that it's more pungent when I have the cabin heater and fan running. I haven't seen that the odor was caused by re-gen either. You can...

    Samsung sound bar

    I recently removed the Samsung sound bar and found out another interesting fact when I posted a question on Ask the Factory. There's supposedly a sub-woofer in my Landmark Savannah behind the fireplace. I haven't taken the time to try and figure out how to access the spot where it's located...

    No Battery Power

    Might want to check out the HUG for 12v system. Sounds like you may have to reset a circuit breaker on the buss bar near the battery. Is everything working fine when on shore power?

    Show off your towing rig!

    Ram now has Firestone Airbag system installed, so I'm enjoying the added flexibility to level the rig and adjust ride based on pin weights.

    Half-ton trucks towing 5th wheels?

    Towing a 5th wheel with a 1/2 ton? Not for this kid. I'm happy I purchased a 1-ton dually to handle our Landmark. My guess is anyone who wishes to hook up a 5er to a 1/2 ton will experience a self-critiquing event before it's all said and done. Just hope I'm not near them when it occurs or...

    ATF: Landmark - Mystery TV Sound Wire

    I recently replaced the sound bar in my 2015 Landmark Savannah. During the exchange, I found a gray speaker wire running into the speaker, utilizing a small two pin clip into the back of the speaker I replaced. The speaker wire had two wire nuts near the upper shelf, but I couldn't chase it...

    Those with 6pt Leveling

    The readout provides a degrees reading in tenths for front to back and side to side. The reading is based on the zero setting for the LCI Level Up system. There is, I believe, one box located at the rear of the coach that sense orientation of the trailer (nose to tail and side to side). I...

    Those with 6pt Leveling

    I don't have access here, but there's a procedure to re-calibrate level on the system. I had to level my trailer by using the manual controls, then follow the procedure to set calibration. Keep the procedure handy once you get it because I've had to do this procedure at least 3 times last...

    Savannah Landmark

    The 17.5" USA made Goodyear tires was an optional upgrade. The 7K Dexter are standard, but I did get the axle/brake upgrade (hydraulic over electric disk) on the Savannah I ordered a few months back. Really nice setup on quality tires...which is one of the main reasons I chose Heartland over...

    more DISH TailGator questions...

    Data on the open net is not always up to date, but keep in mind that Dish only has 3 satellites that work with the TG antenna. They are: EchoStar 10 at 110 degrees W; about due south of New Mexico/Arizona border - your probably seeing this one and on beam SB06 for Western Carolinas EchoStar 14...

    more DISH TailGator questions...

    Questions #1 & 2 are complimentary. The longer the run, the more robust cable is required to carry the signal over the distance with same or less loss of signal strength. Quad-shield RG6 can be used for runs up to 100m with minimal loss across the 2-3000MHz spectrum. Type of cable connector...

    Residential refrigerator in freezing weather conditions

    Temps in OH are at 8F and it's only getting colder in the next few days, so single digit temps in KY are probably. While it may be a little lengthy, I'd go through the winterization process in the HUG manual using compressed air to insure all water is out of the line from the sink valve through...

    Satellite for Internet

    OldTanker hit the nail on the head...working with mobile users is too much of a headeache, so industry doesn't bother. Most of the airline industry was using Hughes at one point for airborne Internet service. I know when I worked with industry on the airborne mobile issue, the systems onboard...

    Landmark Newport 365 2015

    Helen, I'm a fairly new Landmark owner...just bought a Savannah floor plan that we picked up in May of 14. The purchase was made after 3-years of extensive research combing the Internet, going to dealerships in several different states, attending multiple camper shows, and visiting 4 different...

    ATF: Landmark - Schematics

    I'd like to see if I can get a schematic of key infrastructure items like electrical, plumbing, and TV/Satellite systems for my 2015 Landmark Savannah. I like to do a lot of maintenance work on my own, so having these items will assist me in working my projects and maintenance. I appreciate...

    Winterize your Refrigerator Ice Maker today - even in Texas

    I just completed winterization a few days back. The ice maker pushed air through about once every 3 cycles. I got a fine mist once during the first set through (4-cycles total) on about the second cycle. I then proceeded to move toward the front of the coach draining the shower, toilet...

    Bedroom Slide

    The RV Service Manager and I were talking about the slickers I made during pickup. He recommended I not use them under the bed rollers because it added too much torque on the slide. He took me outside and we looked at the slide closed without slickers in place. We opened the slide, put down...

    Satellite for Internet

    Thanks for all the replies on the subject. Figured that most folks were focused on WiFi/MiFi type services. Did some digging on the net and also called some of the satellite contacts I've worked with in the past. Hughes Net runs packages similar to the cellular companies. They offer data...

    Residential Fridge

    It is 1/4" poly tubing and it's routed through the frame under the kitchen slide on an articulating arm. There is an external drain valve mounted on the frame ~2 feet from where the Poly comes outside of the coach. There's probably about 7 feet total of line exposed before it routes up through...

    Residential Fridge

    Understood and didn't mean to imply that insulation alone would keep the line from freezing if it was not winterized properly. I drained all the lines for winter. I used compressed air rather than running antifreeze. I also store the unit inside, so it doesn't get quite as cold. I did the...

    Residential Fridge

    Not that I plan on camping in freezing temperatures in the near future, but I figured I'd insulate the line early. I picked up some of the thermal wrap w/aluminum exterior to wrap the water feed line to the ice maker since it was completely exposed under the slide on my Landmark. I then added...

    Satellite for Internet

    Slightly surprised to hear they're still tying receivers to specific spot beams. Thought Direct TV had come out with a mobile package for a few additional bucks if you had them as a home (fixed location) TV service provider. I'll probably do some more digging into the Hughes Net for mobile...

    Not sure how many have access, but you can register for an account at Ram Owners. Once logged in, go to the Maintain and Care tab and you can search for recalls on vehicle's you've registered in the system. Be sure to have your VIN handy when you create the account. Really nice since you can...

    How much air pressure should I use to blow out the pipes?

    Assume you've already checked, but there are multiple HUG manuals that need to be read to do this properly. Manuals recommended 40 psi max. Be sure to get the last drops out of the water pump and check the refrigerator solenoid for water depending on 3-way or residential option. I also put...

    small holes in awning---glue??

    Recommend you find some of the adhesive they sell for air-filled mattress or inner tubes. The glue is designed for use w/similar materials as the awning and will remain somewhat flexible after it dries. Expect super glue would end up eating up the material. Super glue also dries hard, so it...

    Newbie on 5th Wheel Towing

    I'm running a Ram 3500 dually long bed with a Landmark (3,400 pin weight) and run Firestone air bags. Second set I've owned on two different tow vehicles. Excellent product and very easy installation, even for the not so mechanically inclined user. Another benefit beyond handling of the TV...

    Valor tpms monitor not working

    Yes...guess I should have mentioned, the sensors I have are mounted inside the tire on the rim itself. I'd also recommend checking the sensor ID that should be mounted on the back side of the rim on a white sticker. Don identified that two of the sensors on my rig were out of sequence, so we...

    Valor tpms monitor not working

    I had a similar issue on my Savannah that is listed in the TPMS blog. I had one tire that read "0000" and another that would consistently start out fine and then go to "----". Eventually had Don show up at my home in OH to help troubleshoot; target of opportunity since he was heading from TN...

    Heartland Landmark Quality! Reliability and Durability

    I'm a fairly new Landmark Savannah owner. Overall very satisfied with our purchase decision. The negatives: the rollers under the bed - we removed them and are searching for alternatives. The setup causes deep depressions in the carpeting and, most importantly, it felt like the bed was...

    carry bicycles

    Is this a custom made setup or something offered by Lippert? Guess I should look a little closer at MorRyde to see if I can find or fabricate a similar setup. Much prefer this to adding anything on the TV.

    carry bicycles

    I'm facing a similar search for bikes while towing a Landmark. I'm seriously considering buying a Thule setup to put on the roof of the truck. Not what I really wanted to do, but there's no good alternatives for adding to the trailer and there's not enough room in the bed or between the bumper...

    Anyone having trouble with warranty work?

    Sounds like a bunch of bunk from the dealer. Just purchased a Landmark in FL a few months back and Heartland did an good job working with me, the dealer in FL, and my local RV shop in Troy, OH, to resolve the handful of issues that couldn't be fixed on the spot during delivery. Heartland...
